Recreating the prosperous Tang begins with summoning players

Chapter 748 The Finale

Emperor Li Heng, this is a name that is forgotten by the Tang monarchs, ministers and common people.

In the past ten years, Li Tan, the prince of Jian Guo, has not been abdicated to be the emperor, but has continued to let his father Li Heng be the emperor.

Li Heng's body was congenitally deficient, and the pills he took the day after tomorrow hurt his roots, and the imperial physician's diagnosis could not completely cure his old illness.

However, relying on the latest medicine, Li Heng still lived for ten years, and today he finally ran out of oil.

He Moda stood outside the main hall of Daming Palace, and after waiting for less than an hour, he heard the news of the emperor's trip.

The bells of Daming Palace, Taiji Palace, and Xingqing Palace rang together, which was the mourning bell of the emperor's death.

The people of Chang'an turned to look in the direction of the Daming Palace. Emperor Li Heng was not in good health. A few days ago, there was a report in the Chang'an Daily. The news of the emperor's death did not cause much fluctuation, because it was for the people of the Tang Dynasty. Well, Li Heng is just a symbol. Whose achievements have been made in the past ten years is obvious to all the officials and common people.

He Moda looked at his uncle who was supporting the coffin, and logically said that his mother had already been made queen, and He Moda could also call Li Tan's father.

However, He Moda still likes to call him uncle. The Tian Khan on the grassland has a sad face, but still full of majesty. He Moda quickly knelt down on the ground together with the officials, presenting the emperor's coffin respectfully.

The next day, all the newspapers in the Tang Dynasty published the news of the emperor's trip, and Li Tan's succession to the emperor was also expected. This time the power transfer was almost the most logical one since the founding of the Tang Dynasty.

The Ministry of Rites has been advocating the New Life Movement since the year before last, the most important of which is the new wedding and funeral customs, changing the increasingly extravagant wedding and funeral atmosphere.

Emperor Li Heng also had a will, asking not to organize his own funeral on a large scale.

The emperor's coffin was placed in the Taiji Hall, and the ministers paid their respects and mourned for three days before being sent to the imperial mausoleum for burial.

At the same time, the royal family also reformed the complex and harsh filial piety system. After the funeral of their parents, ordinary officials only need to observe filial piety for one month before they can resume their official duties.

In the past, officials at all levels were still a little dissatisfied. Even if they didn't like to keep filial piety as much as the Han Dynasty, one month was too short.

This time Li Tan took the lead and only kept filial piety for one month, and the officials had nothing to say. Your emperor only kept filial piety for a month, so who can be bigger than the emperor? The new funeral custom was finally carried out on the basis of the death of the emperor.

But after all, it is the emperor's grand trip, the new emperor's ascension to the throne, the doctors of Guozijian have all been transferred to the Ministry of Rites to serve as ritual officials, and the empire still has a lot of things to deal with, so the Guozijian took a one-month vacation.

The matter of He Moda taking the princess out of the palace without permission was not investigated. After all, Li Guangqin, who had just been promoted to empress, also had a lot of things to deal with. At the market in Chang'an.

He Moda had kept his father's filial piety, and he succeeded Khan when he was young, so filial piety was especially harsh.

This time, the first emperor's filial piety period only needs to be kept for one month, which makes He Moda very happy.

"Grandpa said that the greatest contribution of my grandfather in this life was his funeral, which promoted the reform of a new life."

A Yun said without holding back, He Moda was so frightened that he almost covered her mouth, can this matter be evaluated casually?

Thinking of Ah Yun's grandfather, isn't he the emperor who lives in Xingqing Palace?Oh, now that he has been promoted to the Supreme Emperor, what he said is fine.

Li Longji is in good health, and was still singing on the stage of Xingqing Palace a few days ago. Nowadays, many famous excerpts of operas are written by the emperor himself, and he is respected as the founder of Liyuan by the people.

It's really strange, Li Longji and Li Tan are in good health, but Li Heng, who was caught in the middle, died early.

At this time, Dongshi suddenly became noisy, and He Moda immediately protected his sister behind him. His follower quickly rushed over to inquire about the situation, and then said to He Moda:
"He Lang, it's the tooth of the Lion Kingdom! The governor broke through the Kingdom of the Lion and presented the tooth of the Buddha to His Majesty!"

Hearing that there was excitement to watch, the little princess' eyes turned into crescents. He Moda was also a person who couldn't sit still, so he immediately led his men towards the crowd.

"Brother, where is the Lion Kingdom?"

He Moda's grades in geography were not bad, so he immediately said: "Lion country is located between Indochina Peninsula and Tianzhu, also called Sri Lanka, it is a country where all people believe in Buddhism."

In the past ten years, Datang has developed its navy and successively conquered southern sea countries such as Chenla, Siam, Funan, and Sanfoqi.

In recent years, the Chang'an Daily has been full of advertisements for the development of Central South, and a large number of Datang businessmen went to these places to open plantations.

In addition to the traditional food and sugar cane in these areas, the great navigator Li Daoyuan discovered South America five years ago and brought rubber trees, a special economic crop.

Natural rubber was quickly discovered to be used in industry and became a very important industrial raw material. A large number of rubber trees were planted in these tropical areas to continuously provide rubber to the local area.

Compared with the frenzy of immigrants in the Indochina Peninsula, there are far fewer Datang people who are willing to go to South America, North America and New Australia.

There is no way to do this. After all, Indochina Peninsula is not too far from Datang, and the land is also connected. If you go to the New World and want to come back, it will take several months.

The New World is still a paradise for adventurers, but Datang has already established several colonies. According to the words of Emperor Li Tan, the land should be occupied first.

In the context of the surrender of the entire Indochina Peninsula, it seems very abrupt that the isolated island country of the Lion Kingdom still does not surrender.

However, the Lion Kingdom has received the secret support of the black clothes and food, and has hundreds of boats and ships. The whole people believe in Buddhism and have a strong will to fight. They fought against the Datang Navy at sea for a long time.

However, in the end, the lion country was attacked by the navy of the Tang Dynasty. The royal family of the lion country committed suicide by taking poison in the palace.

In the past ten years, Datang's economy has developed rapidly, and the religious atmosphere has become increasingly fanatical. Although the Tang government has strict control over religion, the people insist on believing, and the government has no good way.

This time the Buddha's relic entered Chang'an, and the side of Zhuque Street was crowded with believers. They threw all the gold and silver in their hands on the carriage containing the Buddha's relic. And the little princess was very surprised, Chang'an's wealth is really an exaggeration!
The little princess looked at the carriage containing the tooth of the Buddha, and said to He Moda, "Brother, let's go back to the palace! I want to see the tooth of the Buddha!"

It's a pity that when He Moda and the little princess returned to the palace, they heard new news.

The grand master Li Mi, who had retired and recuperated, wrote a letter to the emperor "On the Table of the Buddha's Tooth", requesting the imperial court to suppress the folk culture of worshiping Buddha. .

Both He Moda and the little princess were a bit disappointed, but soon the little princess heard a new piece of news.

Father is going to Mount Tai to enshrine Zen!
